Staying healthy and fit has always been one of our top resolutions at the start of every year. That is why most of us put in more effort in keeping ourselves healthy and in good shape by eating right and exercising.
However, while these plans are a good start, getting an annual health check-up is important to make sure that you are in the pink of health.
“An annual physical exam is a way for making yourself aware of the general status of your health. Knowing your numbers will allow you to better take care of yourself,” said Carmie de Leon, VP of Sales and Marketing of Healthway Medical. “If you know your numbers, then you will be aware of what you need to do or avoid to stay as healthy as you can.”
During an annual physical exam, you are subjected to a thorough check of your body’s many vital functions like your heart, blood, eyesight, hearing, and others. By checking them, you will be able to know how healthy you are and in case there are issues, your doctor can advise you on what steps to take to prevent these health issues from getting worse.
For instance, during the check-up, you will be put through an ECG where the stress levels of your heart will be checked. Should there be any abnormal signals, the doctor will let you know what medications to take and what foods to avoid so that the condition will not lead to heart disease.
To make it easier for you to get your annual physical exam, Healthway Medical offers HealthcheQ. It is a premium brand of executive check-up designed for individuals who value both their health and time. It is also in line with the clinic’s long-standing commitment to promoting preventive healthcare and access to quality health and wellness.
HealthCheQ includes a comprehensive physical evaluation with complete laboratory, imaging studies, diagnostics and special examinations. The results of the check-up are released within 24 hours after the completion of all the necessary tests.
Healthway’s HealthcheQ package also makes the experience of a physical check-up something to look forward to. It can be considered as a wellness retreat because it comes with an overnight stay in a five-star hotel of their choice so they can enjoy a moment of relaxation with their loved ones.
De Leon further said, “An ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure. An annual check-up isn’t something that one would run away from; it is something to embrace to keep a healthy life.”
